Call them, and tell them there is a nice lunar eclipse immediately after sunset! If they look at the place opposite to the sun they will see a reddish blur: the moon, faintly illuminated by light passing through Earth’s atmosphere, but otherwise in shadow.

Or will have set or whatever. But “everywhere in north america” can’t be correct. I’m pretty sure the Kiribatans won’t be able to see it either.

Of course, they were all raptured.

Impossible! It is a shadow ON the moon. ON. The moon. If we can see the moon we can see the eclipse.
